Hear from Our Customers
Your historic chimney tells the story of your home’s past, but years of weather exposure and improper repairs can threaten both its beauty and your family’s safety. When restoration is done right, you get a chimney that looks authentic to its era while meeting today’s safety standards.
The difference shows immediately. No more water stains on interior walls. No more drafts pulling cold air down the flue. Your fireplace draws properly, burns efficiently, and becomes the centerpiece it was meant to be.
Most importantly, you preserve what makes your Mansfield home special while ensuring it’s safe for your family to enjoy for generations to come.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Mansfield and Bristol County homeowners for over two decades. We’ve worked on chimneys dating back to the 1700s, and we understand the unique challenges that come with preserving these architectural treasures.
Unlike general contractors who treat every chimney the same, we specialize in historic restoration. We source period-appropriate materials, use traditional techniques, and understand how older construction methods affect modern repairs.
Mansfield’s rich history means many homes here have chimneys that require specialized care. We’ve seen what happens when modern materials are used on historic masonry, and we know how to avoid those costly mistakes.
Every historic chimney restoration starts with a thorough inspection. We assess the original construction methods, identify previous repairs that may be causing problems, and determine what materials were used originally.
Next, we carefully remove damaged sections while preserving as much original material as possible. This isn’t a demolition job—it’s archaeological work that requires patience and expertise.
The restoration phase involves sourcing period-appropriate materials. We use lime-based mortars that match the original composition, find salvaged bricks that complement the existing ones, and employ traditional techniques that ensure compatibility with your home’s original construction.
Finally, we install modern safety features like chimney liners in ways that don’t compromise the historic integrity. You get a chimney that looks authentic but performs safely according to current building codes.

Our historic chimney restoration services address every aspect of your chimney’s needs. We handle masonry repair using period-appropriate lime mortars, brick replacement with carefully matched materials, and structural rebuilding when necessary.
In Mansfield’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on historic masonry. We understand how water infiltration affects different types of mortar and brick, and we use techniques that allow proper moisture movement while preventing damage.
Many historic homes in Bristol County lack proper chimney liners, which creates serious safety risks. We install modern liners using methods that preserve the chimney’s appearance while ensuring your family’s safety. The result is a chimney that honors your home’s history while meeting today’s safety standards.
